In a medium bowl, stir together gingersnaps, pecans, oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons butter until well combined; pat evenly into pie plate to form a crust. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown and set. Cool on a wire rack.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently, until butter starts to brown and foam. Remove from heat.

In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together sweet potato and 1/2 cup brown sugar until well combined, about 1 minute. Beat in browned butter, evaporated milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until well combined, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs until well combined, about 1 minute. Pour filling into pie crust.

Bake for 30=35 minutes, or until golden brown around edges, and set - pie shouldn't wobble. Remove pie from oven and evenly top with mini marshmallows. Turn oven broiler on lowest setting, and broil top of pie for a few seconds until marshmallows brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Oh. WOW. I am SO EXCITED about the annual day-before-Thanksgiving baking orgy! Ok, and it's really unfair that I have to look at these amazing pictures of heavenly looking sweet potato pie when I can't be eating a leftover piece for breakfast right now.

This looks amazing but I dont know . . . I've never been a big sweet potato fan. I'm not sure what I'm making for Thanksgiving- I should probably decide since I'm doing the desserts. Glad you're feeling better- I'm worse! I barely have a voice and what I do is all cracky and Tara Reid sounding (yuck) which is great since I work with ten year olds all day.

Oops! Before I saw this recipe, I wrote something rude about sweet potatoes and marshmallows when I answered a comment from you on my blog. But I thought you were talking about sweet potatoes and marshmallows as a SIDE DISH! Of course, this pie, YOUR pie, is beautiful and I take back all the insults.

I love that you're live blogging. Don't forget to tweet too. And what a great idea to give us links to your other great pie recipes. Thank you for that.

I've actually never had sweet potato pie, how crazy is that? My mom doesn't like it so she never made it growing up - I SO need to try it though becaues I love sweet potatoes! Your crust and the toasted marshmallows on top look fantastic!

You do realize that you are awesome, right? I have been looking for thanksgiving dessert ideas. And although I think I decided on what I will make, that doesn't mean I can't bake something now to last me until Thanksgiving! I actually have never had sweet potato pie, but I absolutely sure I will love it. I may try your recipe!

Can you believe that I've never had sweet potato pie? My family were never sweet potato people...though they are slowing coming around and I've definately converted. This looks great...mmmm, marshmallows!

Looks great Emily. I think I would love to try your pie. I've seen the casseroles with marshmallows but not the pies. Great idea. Love a burnt marshmallow! Looking forward to more Thanksgiving recipes from you!

Rachel, I'm worried about having too much pie. I really love the chocolate pecan, too, but I'm worried we'll be the only ones that eat it. Hmmm I'm still thinking about what I should make. What are you bringing?

Sue, haha, you're funny. And of course I'll be tweeting.

Astrid, thank you. Good luck to you in whatever you decide to bake.

Natalie, this season is hilarious.

Anon, yes, I know. I really should make a pumpkin cheesecake. But guess what? I don't really like cheesecake that much. It's the only dessert I'm not that fond of. I will make it for other people though. :) Hello from KC! How 'bout those Chiefs?

We don't talk about them Chiefs much!! Put some pads on your Springfield Cardinals and they'd prob kick our a**!! :) I still am getting a ton of requests to make your pastrami pannini with rosemary ale jous. One of the best recipes ever!! If you ever come to KC stop by one of the World's biggest furniture stores and say Hi!!

I have never had a sweet potato pie but with marshmallows, I might as well try it. Your picture with the tiny marshmallow remind me of Max Brenner chocolate pizza that has tiny marshmallows on top as well!

This is where I take back everything I JUST said about pies and pie crusts. You better believe this will be served at my Thanksgiving. AND, I took, took off on Wednesday for the SAME purpose. I might be changing my mind and working part of the day, but now that I know I'm not the only crazy person I might be with you all day!

I'm really not into marshmellows, can you suggest another topping or could I leave it out altogether. Also what type of brown sugar did you light or dark. What kind of knife did you cut the pie with, chef knife, serrated knife etc.

Just wait until you have kids. Then being sick is no fun at all. You don't get to lay around, but you get to still take care of kids! (Can you tell I went through this a couple of weeks ago?) Now I just want to go hide in a corner with a fork and this whole pie...

YUM! I love marshallowy pie. By the way, that third picture from the bottom it almost a little trippy, I couldn't stop staring it it. You know those pictures where you have to put your eyes out of focus? It's like that. :)

I am really excited because I have had my eye on this pie since May and have been anticipating Thanksgiving so that I can make it for my family! This is my first year that I actually get to contribute to Thanksgiving and I am making this pie today! Thanks for all of your AMAZING recipes!
